Top of the Town 2012

In a city where many shoppers rely on big-box stores for retail therapy, one destination that brings out fierce loyalty in customers is the jewelry store. Williams Jewelers has remained a favorite thanks to its classic business approach: a pleasant and well-trained sales staff, a sizable selection of recognizable brands (Tag Heuer, Rolex), and a dazzling assortment of engagement rings (including the covetable Hearts On Fire diamonds). 2825 E. Third Ave., 303-355-4322; 5106 S. Broadway, Englewood, 303-761-9700; williamsjewelers.net
